I also think it is time Jeremy Cobyne stepped down. They need a new leader.
He's not my leader ... and I haven't voted for him.

I've voted for a local businessman who supports centre-right politics and so obviously will support a Conservative government, or oppose a Labour one.

We don't have a presidential system, which means we can't do anything directly about the leaders of the parties whose policies or outlook we support, but on the other hand it does also mean whoever the leader, and PM, turns out to be, they don't get a free hand to do whatever they like, and scandal or loss of confidence can bring them down within a parliamentary term, far more easily than is the case in the USA for example.

I don't like Boris much, but I don't think he's a national security risk, unlike the leader of the opposition - a fear shared by at least one member of shadow cabinet.
